    Why is it always femme people this bullshit is directed at? Why aren’t the hyper masculine tattooed manosphere influencers ever chastised for their jingoistic tribal alt right nazi sigils engraved on their bodies?

    Graffiti is a spectrum: on one hand, you get beautiful murals that add something to the structure, making it more than what it was.

    On the other hand, you get dicks and swastikas.

    Tattoos are the same way. There’s a difference between someone having a beautiful sleeve done and someone who has TRUMP tattooed on their forehead.

      I was stuck at some train tracks in my area, and some of the graffiti on the trains left a gap around the safety information about weight limits and such.

      Not all of them did. Those that didn’t had to be painted over and re-written, but only the safety section. They left the rest alone.

      There was some mutual acceptance happening on both sides of the effort that warmed my heart.

        As a graffiti enthusiast, I can say that is definitely part of “the rules”. Graffiti has a code of conduct, depite it appearing like anarchy. Many new writers are ignorant of it. Don’t tag:

        • Personal property
        • Places of religion
        • Memorials
        • Shipping or cargo data (like those train cars)
        • Places that are kept clean/painted (it’s going to get covered frequently)

        I was applying the claim to something else

        If you are talking about graffiti on buildings then you haven’t been to Frankfurt if you’ve not seen nazi imagery

          What are you applying the claim to?

          Why the reference to illegal Nazi iconography in Frankfurt? The building posted looks to me to be in the contiguous US.

          You posted an image of a person’s mugshot who has a swastika on their forehead and I assumed you were conflating their tattoos to the person in the original image of this post.

        Dispose of your body as you choose but there is a very fine line that parts complimenting from exagerating. The girl in the photo, for me, is already on exageration territory.

        Too much ink, with too many tattoos, with no connecting theme, and taking up areas where ink - again, for me - just doesn’t sit right, like hands and throat.

        But because opinions are worth nothing, this is all hot air escaping mouths.

      Comparing women to objects tends to be more frowned upon by civilized people, which excludes the right.

      You’re welcome to find whatever you like attractive. She clearly doesn’t care about your opinion.

        I’m sure my opinion is as worthless to her as hers is to me. And btw nobody is comparing the woman to the object, the point is that the aesthetic is similar. Applies to all sexes and objects. Imho the building tags are not art, or at least not good art. And her snakes, bugs and Japanese masks are so tired and trite, everyone does the same stuff. Yay.

          Tired and trite? That sounds like most of mainstream movies, music, television… Yet people enjoy it. It is their choice to like what they like, and do what they do.

          Sure someone else may want the ceiling of the Sistine chapel tattood on them, but she chose this.

            I’m happy for her, she can do whatever she wants. She’s still hot af. And people can watch whatever shit they want and they can have all the dumb opinions they want. That doesn’t change how I see it, and I like to think that my criticism is constructive.

              I’m glad you say she can do whatever she wants.

              I think what many would argue is, what is and is not constructive about criticizing someone’s choices. I think it is constructive to tell someone that wearing a reflective device or bright clothing when in low visibility situations such as hunting (if others are in the area shooting like Dick Cheney) or walking near traffic is constructive. But I don’t see any ups to telling someone their clothing design doesn’t agree with my tastes.

              Whether I care for her tattoos or not, they aren’t harming others outside of people being prudish and feeling like they don’t have enough control over others choices.

                Well to be fair nobody here told her anything, she probably doesn’t know that some idiots are talking about her in some obscure corner of the internet. Way I see it we all should be able to criticise anything. Tattoos are a form of art and people are allowed to have opinions on it. Same goes for the “art” of tagging.

      Because it’s essentially saying that her decision to get tattoos is the equivalent of her vandalizing her body. It’s a meme criticizing a woman for choosing what she wants to do with her body, which is just a tamer version of “your body my choice”.

        I saw that more like a criticism of the tattooing style, not her life decisions. Your body my choice is downright authoritarian. I don’t see how it relates to this.

          Even if it is a criticism of the tattooing style it’s still likening it to vandalism. It doesn’t change the message behind the meme.

              And the meme completely breaks down if the building is considered art so let’s not play dumb. We both know in this meme the building isn’t representing art.

                The meme suggests that this beautiful woman made herself less attractive by getting tattoos. People who tend to agree with that statement are not necessarily nazis fascists sexists Trump voters rapists church goers and so on, despite the fact that many of that ilk share similar sentiments (but for completely different reasons). Believe it or not, not everyone likes this aesthetic and this is not political.

                  If you think “I don’t like tattoos on women” is the same as “women with tattoos look like vandalized buildings” then you’re missing the nuances necessary to have this discussion.

  • She makes much more sense when you undo the mirroring whichever dipshit created this did. The backwards texts in crazy fonts were breaking my brain.

    I appreciate the commitment in both cases. Whoever climbed out to do the graffiti at the top of the building had some guts.

    Both looks bad. It’s too many tattoos on one hand, and pretty scrambled a bad looking graffiti on the other hand.

    Her tattoos do specifically have that “Here’s a blank spot where I can put some shit” feel to them.

    Like I’ve seen cool tattoos, hers aren’t. Shitty tattoos look like graffiti. And those aren’t even “I’ve got pieces of a BIC pen and some rubbing alcohol, you can draw, right?” shitty tattoos, those are “Hey man it’s your forehead. Keep this bandage dry for three days then wash it when you take a shower. That’ll be 80 bucks.” grade tattoos.
